Hacking
Keep your personal info to yourself
Safety online
Explain your reasons for choosing these. What are the arguments for and against each idea?
I chose hacking because it is what I would like to see on a poster, but then again it isn’t that good because not many people hack that much besides big companies. Keeping your personal info is good because everyone sometimes forgets who they are talking to and just tell them there details so it would be good to bring the subject to say what danger they could get into. Its not very good because everyone knows about keeping your personal info to yourself and everyone is generally pretty good and remembering. Safety online is good because you can cover a lot of ground about safety. It isn’t a very good idea because there is so much to write about that it may get boring.
Which idea is the best one for completing the task?
I think it is Keeping your personal info because some people get really slack about it and it is a really good reminder for people especially teenagers who spend a lot of time on chatrooms and it could get a bit dangerous. Which idea is best for accomplishing my goal?
I think it would be the same one as I said before: Keeping your personal info to yourself

My plan is:
Do some research on the topic I chose
Plan it out on a piece of paper and put all the info together
Start taking some pictures
Put the pictures text and background and extras on my poster
